As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

Drivers (e.g. wl12xx) might need to know the vif
to roc on (mainly in order to configure the
rx filters correctly).
Add the vif to the op params, and update the current
users (iwlwifi) to use the new api.

When software crypto is enabled, it isn't safe
to enable MFP since the firmware interprets some
management packets, and with MFP it would do so
without proper validation.

When the firmware is in SNIFFER mode, it leaves
the FCS at the end of frame. Not telling mac80211
means it won't add the right flag to the radiotap
header and that confuses wireshark.
Since mac80211 doesn't have a per-packet flag, set
the HW flag dynamically. This works as the monitor
vif can only be present in the driver by itself.
This fixes a regression introduced by my
commit 5789772641

The flush_control parameter to iwlagn_txfifo_flush
is passed as an internal value (context flags) and
then sent to the device, that can't be right.
Fix the confusion by removing the parameter, always
use IWL_DROP_ALL that is redefined according to the
firmware API in the flush control.

Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
Transmit Power Control (TPC).
Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

Due to the way the PAN parameters are set up, the

to 500 which is safe (somewhere around 550 might
be possible.)

Currently when mac80211 asks to change the interface
type, we will accept it for both the BSS and PAN
contexts. This is not terribly complicated today,
but with the addition of the P2P Device abstraction
the PAN context handling will get more complex, so
restrict mac_change_interface to the BSS context.
Also fix a small locking issue and use is_active
instead of the vif pointer to check if the other
context is activated, guarding exclusive interface
types on the BSS context (IBSS) against the PAN
context being used for something else.

When the device is doing an internal radio reset
scan, ROC can be rejected to the supplicant with
busy status which confuses it.
One option would be to queue the ROC and handle
it later, but since the radio reset scan is very
quick we can just wait for it to finish instead.
Also add a warning since we shouldn't run into
the case of having a scan active when requesting
a ROC in any other case since mac80211 will not
scan while ROC or ROC while scanning.

The EEPROM reading/parsing code is all mixed in
the driver today, and the EEPROM is parsed only
when we access data from it. This is problematic
because the NVM needs to be parsed and that is
independent of reading it. Also, the NVM format
for new devices will be different and probably
require a new parser.
Therefore refactor the reading and parsing and
create two independent components. Reading the
EEPROM requires direct hardware accesses and
therefore access to the transport, but parsing
is independent and can be done on an NVM blob.
